It has been a week of waiting for many as the summer slows and people get to digest the latest releases, then forget about them all and go on vacation to wait for the fall buying season. The two next big announcements will be from Samsung and Apple in September.
The new smartphone launches were the LG G2, LG Optimus F3 from T-Mobile, after the big Nexus 7 launch on the first of August while we await Verizon August launches and the Droid Ultra, MAXX and mini starting on August 20 that are very similar to the Moto X coming in the forthcoming weeks, maybe August 23.
Those who are worried about losing and finding an Android device can now use Android Device Wipe & Find: Manager for Android 2.2 and higher, it works most of the time. However, our Samsung Galaxy S 4 rang in the middle of the night.
Tablet buyers are also waiting for new devices because iPad, Samsung Galaxy and Nexus tablet sales declined while people are waiting for next iPad.
When T-Mobile started offering the iPhone and new plans it worked for them to the tune of 1 million new subscribers.
The latest tablet deal for those who can't wait is the Nook HD+ 9" for $149 that is almost as good ss HP TouchPad fire sale. But if you prefer the Kindle Fire HD ecosytem you can get the 7" Kindle Fire HD for $159.99.
Now that the Moto X is out, it will come to Google Play. Then on Friday there were conflicting rumors that Asus would make the Nexus 10 tablet and Motorola would make the Nexus 5.
Samsung is ramping up for its Samsung Galaxy Note III, Gear and Folder. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active warranty is active for exchange if water damage occurs, first.
There was a great demand for news about LG G2 before it was announced although we have no release date, yet. The New Nexus 7 with Wi-Fi, has wireless charging is on sale now.
